Good to hear you story bro. It's all too easy to assume people just got lucky when they get a break. You never see the blood, sweat and tears over the years that went into getting that break!
@JoshPostVlogs
Excellent advice about just do it, do what you love, put yourself out there, because in reality no one else really cares.
@robinmetzler
Thank you for sharing your experiences Luc. I love watching your videos and learning from you!

Trying to do the same at 27, because its never late as in the past I struggled financially and couldnt even afford a beat up DSLR. All I have to say that its not important to know how to use a camera, put it in auto I dont care, the most important thing is to be there when something happens, its not a studio shooting they dont want the best photos they want photos, period. All you have to do is basically learn framing, but as I said just be there when something happens and be careful.

Great story. I hope they started paying you more than $25 after you got your foot in the door. I went the commercial photo route when I first started. Worked for free as a second/third assistant for a couple of months then started getting paid $50/day. This was back in 1990.

Thanks a lot for tons of information and inspiration you are sharing! Hello from India, fan of your story.
@WhySteve
Such an informative and underrated video! I love how nonchalant you talk about doing some in crazy stuff like breaking into places, riots, death and chilling with monks but I can't even go to the shop without feeling awkward, out of place and like I am going to get into trouble....
@BihnDan
Thanks Luc! Inspiring and deeply appreciated.
@warrensharpe6505
Thank you, needed some inspiration!
@EmenseCoffee
This video inspires me! Thanks for putting it together. I am on the same page with my YouTube channel chasing my dream as a coffee farmer and documenting.
@Iandontdothat
Wow, I can't believe it you watched 'War photographer' when you teach English in Korea and it changed your way. Also I dreamed and tried to reach it too. However, I didn't recognize i have no talent on documentary work at that time. Still it feels like bittersweet dream. Anyway, your all the comments of this post make me to move again, Thanks!
@barryfinnimore
Definitely more hard work and commitment than luck. Fair play 👍
@Hamzakhan-dt3gv
Interesting video
@Dstonephoto
Oh god damn it. As a new fashion photographer about to embark to Croatia and looking into microphones for video I’m finding myself binging your videos. I want a Ferrari; not malaria.
@sardanapalos
what is that black thjing on your hoodie? its like artifacts... what are you filming this with? is it the youtube compression?
@ibrahimvisuals6745
great video!! I'm wondering how can you hold a camera in a public place without getting bothered by the police?
@galileo707
Did anyone ever told you, you look like Jake Gyllenhaal from Nightcrawler?
